Swing re: Giants/Packers

Lurie recently turned 65 and is said to be shocked and pained that the franchise has not won a Super Bowl during his time as steward. It is fair to say the sense of urgency is as high as it has ever been.

Given those factors, it is not surprising that Lurie has become a more proactive owner. The Eagles and Lurie declined comment for this story.

The most recent example of Lurie's increased level of involvement occurred days after the regular season ended. The New York Jets requested permission to interview Eagles quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo for their vacant offensive coordinator position. According to a league source, Lurie stepped in and denied the Jets permission, preventing Pederson from granting the request as his mentor, former Eagles coach Andy Reid, typically had done.

glad he's stepping in and not letting the DeFilippo's of the world get away. maybe he should dump his waterboy and hire someone that knows the game and doesn't get most of his ideas from Madden franchise mode.

Although I have a Steeler fan brother whose convinced the Steelers will win. I told him I don't see them beating KC and Brady in any universe. He's a Steeler fan because when we were kids Bradshaw beat Dallas in 2 bowls and I hated them with a passion, so he spent the last 40 years wearing black and gold. We were hoping to meet in the bowl for the 4th time.
Pats 37-20
